The kids are our future family of faith. We all need to ask questions; who is teaching, what are they teaching. Tough questions but no one said teaching the faith is easy.Cathy_of_Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16795566831031491371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732157026396191846.post-33230856217817062702010-09-02T12:19:31.891-05:002010-09-02T12:19:31.891-05:00My thanks, too, Father.

The question is, how can we make great financial sacrifices for a school that teaches contrary to the faith?<br /><br />We live by your current parish and ended up sacrificing more by traveling to schools farther from our home. We&#39;re not overly scrupulous and understand no school is perfect. We&#39;d love to bloom where we&#39;re planted. It&#39;s heartbraking not to be able to trust and be a part of our local Catholic schools.<br /><br />We&#39;re praying for you, Father!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732157026396191846.post-50359979841114766482010-09-02T12:11:52.748-05:002010-09-02T12:11:52.748-05:00My thanks, too, Father.

The question was, are we willing to make great financial sacrifices for a school that teaches contrary to the faith? <br /><br />We live near your current parish and ended up sacrificing even more when we chose schools that are farther from our home. We&#39;re not overly scrupulous and don&#39;t expect any school to be perfect. We&#39;d love to bloom where we&#39;re planted. It&#39;s heartbraking not to be able to trust and become a part of our local Catholic schools. <br /><br />We&#39;re praying for you, Father!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732157026396191846.post-267658634900882662010-09-01T06:06:37.217-05:002010-09-01T06:06:37.217-05:00Thank you, Fr.

You have inspired me to keep fighting in my own parish, school, and Catholic high school. Sometimes I just want to quit.<br /><br />As the wife of a wonderful, faith-filled husband, I trust his instincts. We continue to sacrifice to send our children to the parish school and the Catholic high school here in MI. Every year I tell him I want to homeschool and he insists that we will not give up. I know in my heart he is right. If we don&#39;t stay and fight the good fight in our Catholic schools then the secularization and lack of fidelity will only continue. We supplement catechism at home. We get involved. We are not perfect but we are seeking the Truth.<br /><br />Thank you for being a light in the blogosphere. The Lord&#39;s light can even penetrate my computer! God Bless You!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14276172838333352541noreply@blogger.com
